Mom shot 6 time ex-convict intruder with all the bullets of her 38, yet he was still able to get up after she ran out of bullets. What if it was more than one intruder? Maybe limiting ammunition capacity is actually better for the criminals and not their victims after all...

She inadvertently followed two of the common rules for gun fighting. One rule says you need to create a wall of lead between you and the aggressor. The other rule she followed says that if your aggressors disarm you and use your gun against you it’s only to beat you with because it’s empty.

She really needed much more lethal ammo. I bet it was some of the cheap ball ammo that’s mostly good for target shooting. Also, from some of the other reports I’ve read, it looks like the perp had done some time, meaning he was probably rock hard. All the more reason for a larger caliber pistol, more cartridges, and stronger ammo.

All the keyboard commandos can call for more deadly ammo, pipsqueak .410 shot gun loads etc. but bottom line is; a human is hard to kill, especially if they are full of fight and there is a lot of space around the critical points in a head shot. The lady did exceedingly well.

Yes she did. That doesn't alter the fact, though, that the perp was still mobile after being shot 5 times. Had there been a second perp, the lady might have been in deep trouble. I won't say she needs more range time. Her accuracy was great. But she really does need to upgrade the ammo. Hollowpoints, at the very least. And it might not have hurt to go to a semi-auto with a bigger magazine capacity.

I love upbeat, good news stories like this. Five rounds in the face and body from a .38 and hes still alive?

5 out of 6 in a dark crawlspace. Good shooting!

The bad guy escaped and is still alive as of that video. She was out of ammo apparently. What if there was more than one bad guy? She'd be SOL. What if it was a gang? She would have needed what the fiends want to ban!

They are going to divide us between those who will register from those who wont

Those who will comply with bullet limits from the handicapped who cannot because they cannot afford to reload every 5 seconds

from mothers who cannot afford using a bolt action and need a semi auto.

Check it out, the age of chivalry is gone. We cannot organize anything against this “POLICE TERROR STATE” by installment.

INterestingly, the only law out there which would be legal to cosmetically (and not functionaly) differentiate the weapons of LE from non LE because of uniform vs. civilian discrimination compliance are not even on the books.

Leftism is defining the uniform on who has a weapon while being in civies.

It is fascism pure and simple, with deceit and terrorism.

You do not know who is the fascist and the cop in your midst.

You bought the Taurus Judge I assume. I'd be very interested in any ballistic tests you do. I read a very nerdy review (good thing) of the gun using a variety of .410 rounds. I can't remember which one came out on top (I'd look for the link, but I'm on a blackberry so I really can't do much browsing).

Anyhow, hope it works for you and stay safe FRiend.

Most people don’t realize it, but the Taurus Judge really shines when you load it with hot .45 Colt loads like the ones you can get from Cor-Bon or Buffalo Bore. They turn your revolver-with-a-glandular-disorder into a pocket .45-70.
